Healing x planning x freedom

——I wish you happiness, I wish you freedom

I would like to watch you leave and never look back

--------------------------------

Selustine sat on the edge of the huge bathing pool, raised her head, closed her eyes, and let the warm fresh water wash away the remaining nutrient solution on her body.

One year has passed. It can't be said to be too long, but it's not short either. In short, it has taken longer than she expected.

When Selustine thought of this, she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above her head blankly.

If I had known, I would have contacted Shanks first.

Although this year was just a matter of closing her eyes and opening them again and again for her, it was not the same for her friends who had been thinking about her.

The long wait with no end in sight is a very torturous thing. Seleustin knows this clearly.

After she has taken care of Germa's affairs and goes to Marineland to report that she is safe, she will go back immediately

Selustine casually stroked the water with her fingertips, looking at the splashes she made, a little distracted.

However, this bunch of things probably won't be dealt with quickly. As expected, we still have to find a way to contact the Foss first.

As for how to explain the disappearance over the past year?Isn't she in Germa now?

With such a good scapegoat, we can just put all the problems on Germa's head.

Let me think about what to say...

Selustine rubbed her chin with one hand and raised her eyebrows, thinking about how she could successfully pass the blame to Germa, the scapegoat. Little did she know that her little plan had already failed, because Reijiu had fallen into the trap just now. Not long after she fell asleep, she contacted the red-haired pirates, and almost all of her situations were turned upside down.

A pair of gentle hands suddenly pinched her shoulders. Selustine, who was immersed in her own thoughts, noticed that someone came quietly behind her. She was about to be on guard when she suddenly saw someone holding her hand. The slender and long fingertips of the person on her shoulder, and even the smell of her body are so familiar.

It's her sister, Reiju

Seleustin relaxed her body and leaned back again, turning her head to look at Reiju behind her with a smile on her face.

"I heard them say that you happened to be on a mission and were out."

Hearing her ask, Reijiu rubbed her wet blond hair indifferently.

"It's not that far away originally. I came back first when I heard you woke up."

Seleustin smiled. Even if Reiju didn't explain, she had guessed that this would be the case.

"How do you feel physically? Is there any discomfort?"

"Not at all. Look, there's not even a scar left."

Seleustin raised her injured right wrist towards Reijiu. The hideous scar had disappeared, and only the delicate and smooth skin could be seen, with no sign of previous injuries.

Reijiu smiled and nodded. She actually knew that Renee's body had recovered a few months ago. Now she asked this more out of concern, for fear that she would leave any hidden diseases.

She stretched out her palms towards her sister sitting in the bathtub, pulled her out of the water, and pulled her straight into her arms.

"elder sister?"

Seleustin was hugged tightly by Reiju, patting her back gently, with a somewhat inexplicable expression on her little face that was still flushed after just taking a bath.

"Nothing, let's go"

The hug only lasted for a short moment before Reijiu let go of her, put a bath towel on her, took her hand and left the gorgeously decorated bathroom.

Selustine wrapped a soft bath towel around her body and was led away by her obediently. Her hair, which had grown to her ankles, left a trace of water on the smooth ground.

Back in her own room, a group of maids filed in to help her dry her hair and put on simple and beautiful clothes.

The last time she had this kind of treatment was when she was eight years old. Now that she has grown up, Selustine is obviously not used to this kind of service.

Reijiu looked at her at a loss as she was surrounded by all the maids, and touched her long hair in a funny way.

"My hair is a bit long. It might be inconvenient to fight. Do you think it would be better to cut it shorter?"

Seleustin tugged on a strand of blond hair next to her ear, tilted her head and asked Reijiu. Some of her words touched Reijiu's heart, leaving her stunned.

"Ah...actually it's not bad"

There was no direct answer as to whether he wanted her to cut it off or not.

Reijiu lowered her eyelids, no longer looking at the smooth and beautiful golden hair.

In fact, she wanted to say that such hair is very beautiful, but Renee's words suddenly woke her up.

Her father will definitely give Renee a mission next, and she may become like him, traveling to war-torn countries around the world, starting wars or ending wars.

She is going to fight, and she will not be like now every moment, a truly carefree princess.

Seleustin turned her head, looked at Reiju who suddenly became depressed, and frowned.

Did she say the wrong thing?

"I think it looks pretty, but I won't cut it anymore."

She said these words almost intuitively, and Reijiu in her sight actually raised her head in surprise, no longer immersed in those gloomy emotions.

She touched her long hair that had been blow-dried and asked Reijiu with a smile.

“Isn’t it good-looking?”

Reijiu softened her eyes, looked at her sister who was smiling warmly in front of her, and nodded lightly.

"nice"

Her Renee is as beautiful as a delicate flower hung with dew in the morning

After the maids finished tossing Seleustin, who was fully dressed, they withdrew, leaving space for the two sisters.

Reiju took Seleustin's hand and pulled her to the bedside to sit down. Her fingertips tapped suggestively on the locker next to the bed, indicating to her that there was something in it.

Se Liu nodded, curiously opened the cabinet door, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

That was the luggage she had left behind in the Chambord Islands!Reiju actually got them back

Seleustin jumped on Reiju like a child and gave her a big hug. Then she quickly squatted down and rummaged through the package to find something. The look made Reijiu shake her head.

"Are you looking for this?"

Seleustin turned back to look at Reiju who was speaking. She was holding a phone bug she found out from somewhere in her hand, holding her chin and looking at herself funny.

There were three scars on that phone bug's left eye that she was all too familiar with.

She happily took the phone bug. She didn't think about why the phone bug was in Reiju's hand instead of in the package. She poked the phone bug with its head hanging down and saw it lifted up. Staring at himself with one eye, the smile on his face became even happier

It seems to be working normally, so I can contact Shanks.

With a smile, she put the phone bug in the drawer and locked it, then returned to the bed and lay next to Reiju, the two of them rolling together like they did when they were children.

Obviously, Seleustin is extremely happy now that she has discovered that she can contact Shanks.

After the fun, she rested her little head on Reijiu's shoulder, and the two of them stared at the curtains of the luxurious palace-style bed in a daze.

Seleustin was thinking about what to do next, when Reiju's voice suddenly called her out of her fugue.

"renee"

"Ok?"

"Do you want to stay here?"

In fact, Reijiu knew the answer to this question. She understood that the only answer Renee could give was that one.

"Shanks and the others are still waiting for me in the New World."

This is the expected negative answer.

"That's right...then if you don't want to stay here, leave as soon as possible."

"You have to take care of yourself outside as well."

When Seleustin heard Reiju almost sighing, she turned sideways and propped up her golden head with one hand, looking at Reiju who said this with some confusion.

She does intend to leave as soon as possible, but the opportunity is not that easy to find. She still doesn't know what her father plans to do with her, and she doesn't have a ship to leave Germa. The time to leave should not have come yet.

But Reijiu's words seemed like she was going to send her away immediately.

Reijiu felt her gaze, and turned her head to look at her, and then said something that made her stunned.

"If you want to leave, you can probably leave now. I will take you away tomorrow."

Seleustin blinked in confusion, feeling that Reiju's words were a bit meaningless. What do you mean you can only leave now?How was she going to take her away?Will my father allow it?

"Father left home three days ago and will probably be back in two days."

As if knowing her doubts, Reijiu sat up and put a hand on her shoulder.

"So, if you want to leave, you can only leave before he comes back. Once father comes back, it's hard to say whether he will let you go out. Maybe... it's possible that you can't leave here anymore."

Perhaps, he will be sent to the Alliance of All Nations, and will never be able to escape this whirlpool that is sweeping towards the abyss.

Reiju's eyes flickered a little. She did not look at the pair of blue eyes opposite her mother that were exactly the same as her mother's. She chose to hide the fact that the Vinsmoke family and the Charlotte family were planning a marriage from her sister.

Seeing that Reiju was obviously hiding something from her, Seleustin frowned, but did not ask any further questions.

Father, are you planning to do something?And it looks like it has something to do with her?

If this is the case, then now is indeed the only chance to leave Germa

"Tomorrow my ship happens to be going to a non-franchised country in the New World. I will put you on an island nearby."

Her hand slid down Selustine's shoulder to a strand of hair on her chest, and gently stroked it, as if she was a little reluctant and regretful, and then she told her

"The next journey is up to you."

Reijiu combed her long hair over and over again, as if her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister... I can only help you so much."

Her eyes were locked on the soft hair in her hand, without looking at Seleustin, but the sad emotion was conveyed to Seleustin's heart in her words.

It's an indescribable feeling, as if someone poured a lot of sourness into your heart, and then sprinkled it with sugar.

Her entire chest was filled with unknown warmth. She shrank into Reijiu's arms and hugged her thin shoulders tightly.

No need to say anything, all the love and care are in this hug

Better than thousands of pale words
